Modify Service settings

Hello,

I have the following script

$Computers = gc "c:\Active_Computers.txt"

$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Service" -namespace "root\CIMV2" `
-computername $Computers

foreach ($objItem in $colItems) {

Write-Host $Computers
write-host "Desktop Interact: " $objItem.DesktopInteract
Write-Host "Service Name :" $objItem.DisplayName

write-host
}

I would like to only tell me where the service named "Intel Local Scheduler Service" is set to DesktopInteract = true and if it is change it to false

Filter the results first:

Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "DisplayName='Intel Local Scheduler Service' AND DesktopInteract=$True"

Open in new window

Make sure that returns what you need first please :)

Then, if it does:

$Service = Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "DisplayName='Intel Local Scheduler Service' AND DesktopInteract=$True"
$Service.DesktopInteract = $False
$Service.Put()

Open in new window

And if all that works, reinstate the loop:

Get-Content C:\Active_Computers.txt | ForEach-Object {
  $Service = Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -ComputerName $_ `
    -Filter "DisplayName='Intel Local Scheduler Service' AND DesktopInteract=$True"
  If ($Service) {
    $Service.DesktopInteract = $False
    $Service.Put()
  }
}

Open in new window

HTH

We might find that that option doesn't actually work. If you find that to be the case, pop back and we can call the Change method to modify it. It might just take a little experimentation to get there :)

I can now filter for only that service and where objItem.DesktopInteract = True but it does not take the check mark out of "Allow service to interact with desktop"

This is what I have so far

=====================================
$Computers = gc "c:\Active_Computers.txt"

$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Service" -namespace "root\CIMV2" `
-computername $Computers -Filter "DisplayName='Intel Local Scheduler Service' AND DesktopInteract=$True"

foreach ($objItem in $colItems ) {

Write-Host $objItem.SystemName
}
